Management of parapneumonic effusion and thoracic empyema with intrapleural instillation of 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate sodium and conservative approach – A comparative study

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2022
Background: The aim of pleural effusion management is to provide symptomatic relief by draining excessive fluid in the pleural space and stable the patient before the surgical and therapeutic intervention of underlying disease.

Docetaxel‐Induced Serositis Mimicking Malignant Pleural Effusion

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in patients with cancer. Although their development may signal progressive malignant disease, drug‐induced effusions are a rare and often overlooked cause of exudative pleural effusions. We describe a 50‐year‐old woman with recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary who developed bilateral pleural and pericardial ...

Role of tumor necrosis factor-α in the differential diagnosis of parapneumonic effusion [PDF]

, 2000
Objective: This study was undertaken to investigate the role of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in discriminating between uncomplicated parapneumonic effusion (UCPPE) and complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE).Method: Using a commercially available ...

Intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator and deoxyribonuclease administered concurrently and once daily for complex parapneumonic pleural effusion and empyema

, 2023
Background: Pleural infection is life-threatening and increasingly prevalent. In addition to usual care, twice-daily, separate administration of tissue plasminogen activator and deoxyribonuclease (tPA-DNase) reduces radiological pleural opacity with ...

Syndrome Evaluation System Contributes to Higher and Faster Pathogen Identification with Superior Clinical Correlation as Compared to Conventional Cultures in Patients with Empyema and Parapneumonic Effusions

The Journal of Association of Chest Physicians, 2019
Background & Objective: Pleural fluid culture is the standard of diagnosis for infectious etiology in parapneumonic effusion and empyema. However, the sensitivity is poor in tertiary centers due to prior antibiotic therapy.

Parapneumonic effusion and empyema [PDF]

Archives of disease in childhood - Education & practice edition, 2005
Pleural infection (parapneumonic effusion and empyema) has an annual incidence of 3.3 per 100 000 children. The incidence of childhood empyema may be increasing in the UK. If so, it is not clear whether this is related to different referral patterns, changes of antibiotic usage in primary care, or whether there is a genuine increase in disease ...

Paragonimiasis Following Ingestion of Frozen Freshwater Crab: Two Case Reports

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Paragonimiasis is a zoonotic trematode infection acquired through ingestion of freshwater crustaceans or raw game meat. Here, we report two patients (a couple) who developed paragonimiasis after consuming previously frozen freshwater crabs together at the same restaurant in Tokyo.

Reassessing Discordant Exudative Pleural Effusion in Heart Failure: A Rare Case of Occult Malignancy Uncovered by Post‐Thoracentesis Tension Pneumothorax

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions can be manifestations of heart failure, pulmonary embolism, infection, and malignancy. Symptom assessment, imaging, and pleural fluid analysis serve as key determinants in guiding clinical management. We present the case of a 75‐year‐old woman with a history of heart failure who developed worsening dyspnea and lower extremity

Protein profiling of pleural fluid in guiding management of infectious parapneumonic effusion in children

, 2019
[[abstract]]Background: Infectious parapneumonic effusion contains proteins originated from circulation as well as proteins locally released by inflammatory pulmonary cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of total protein analysis

Dynamic and volumetric variables reliably predict fluid responsiveness in a porcine model with pleural effusion [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The ability of stroke volume variation (SVV), pulse pressure variation (PPV) and global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness in presence of pleural effusion is unknown.
